Bug#799034: udev 226 changes virtio interface names on upgrades

Package: udev
Severity: grave
Version: 226-1

When upgrading a QEMU VM from 225 to 226, the "eth0" network interface
(virtio) changes to "ens3".

This is due to https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/1119 . While
this is generally a good thing for new installs, this breaks upgrades.

I propose to make udev's postinst create a .link file
which disables predictable names for virtio devices on upgrades.

Martin
